Title: British Sadlleback Boar Needed for Hire
Post by: Polished Arrow on November 10, 2012, 10:27:54 pm

Hi folks,


We have just heard that the boar we were to borrow isn't going to be available until Christmas, which is a delay on a delay, and just a bit late for us.  Does anyone within about a 2 hour drive from Gloucestershire have a pedigree British Saddleback boar who would enjoy a winter holiday in the Forest of Dean with two randy pedigree sows?!


They were in season again this week, so to collect as near the 19th November as possible would be just pppperrrrrrfect  :eyelashes:

I'm not sure this would work, but I take Charlotte to Pets Corner in Harlow and the boar serves her there. 

We get however into the Essex/british saddleback controversy.  Assuming he is a british saddleback (and they register using "Spurriers" so you can check), would that be too far away?  I used to have clients in Gloucester Cathedral (surveyors in the courtyard and that was about 2 hours away)
